Interactive play
To us interactive play is so important as it promotes social interaction, exploration, and story telling skills. But mostly it encourages a child to use their imagination. To think independently and to problem solve by themselves.
Use your imagination
The power of a child's imagination is an amazing thing.. Imaginative play helps in a child's development across most aspects of the learning process. Be it lateral thought, cognitive recognition, or memory development. When a child uses their imagination it can develop their personality and help them make sense of the world.

Fine motor skills, dexterity, and coordination are key skills used in the majority of Clockwork Soldier products. Making things should be fun. Learning techniques, and craft skills will help develop a child's fine motor skills.
Hand Eye Coordination
An important but sometimes over looked part of the learning process. Hand eye coordination activities can be found in many of our products.
Be it flicking a mini golf ball through a world landmark, or simply building one of our model kits.

Clockwork Soldier products promote problem solving skills in a number of different ways. Children can learn theses skills through using our activity sheets, learning how to make things work, or creative development amongst other processes.
Social Skills
Social skills in play terms can be gained in a multitude of different activities and through all forms of shared play experiences.

Learning about our beautiful world and our place in it has a very high value particularly in more recent times.
